Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though Link may be dealing with an upper respiratory infection. If left untreated, this can progress and become much worse. If you are unable to get into a veterinarian, I would recommend starting on a lysine supplement for cats and also taking Link into the bathroom with the hot shower running to see if the steam will help Link breathe better. You can also look into Care Credit and apply for a line of credit to be used for veterinary care. I hope this helps and that Link gets better. The lysine supplement I recommend is called Duralactin with Lysine and you can find this online. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
